Black & White Station, Pandan Indah

- July 19, 2011

I have to continue to concentrate in my voucher reviews. So this time I will bring you a voucher from Groupon. The link for the voucher will be as below:

2-course meal + 1 Ice Cream Dessert for 2 people for RM20 by Black & White Station

This is a very straightforward voucher. They will provide you a soup, a main course and also a dessert @RM10/pax. The main course has a choice of two which are BBQ Grill Chicken Chop or Grill Fish Chop

This is the cafe. This cafe is not located at the corner lot so it is not very obvious to locate them. Furthermore, there are just too many cafes around with the same standard such as Old Town Cafe, Station One Cafe, Dolphin and much much more! So it is normal if you do not notice this cafe especially in the day. Wi-fi is available with no password required. However, parking here is a real pain. It is very normal when too many cafes around and you will get too many crowds so eventually finding a parking will not be that easy. Solution? As usual, park KL style.

Black and white are their color theme. Their costume in black and walls are all in white.

Very spacious place which is very rarely you can see in a cafe. Usually such cafe will try to fully utilized the space available. In my opinion, since this is a black and white cafe, the chair should be fully black as well and the flooring should be either black or white or both. Actually the black and white style is not very contrast and not really well presented to us to notice the beauty of black and white. Sometimes it is not just the food, drinks or service to have return customers, a cafe concept is very important too because it is to represent the uniqueness of the cafe where customers will keep on bragging to one another.

The mushroom soup

Once again you will see me commenting a mushroom soup. This soup has rich of mushroom taste and you have a lot of mushrooms to bite. However, it is a bit too salty after a few sips. I feel it has too much MSG. To compare with other mushroom soups which are Ben & Nick's Diner and Rush Hours Gastropub, this mushroom soup is better than Rush Hours Gastropub but not a match with Ben & Nick's Diner.

Price: N/A
Overall: 2/5 - Can skip this if you have to.

Grill Fish Chop with Black Pepper

This is what my sister is having. I chose for her since fish has full of protein and it is good for her body. LOL. Anyway, we both agreed that the fish meat melt in our mouth instead of chewing it. While the pepper sauce should be tickling our taste bud instead of making us feel it too spicy.

Price: N/A
Overall: 2/5 - It is a great Fish Chop if you like how it melts into your mouth. They have 2 other choices of sauces beside Black Pepper. If I am not mistaken one of them is Sweet & Sour and another one I am cannot remember. Sorry.

BBQ Grill Chicken Chop

Like brother like sister. We both love this. Chicken is taste average but well cooked. The best part is the sweet & sour sauce. It is truly nice! Very unique and I have never tasted such yet anywhere. The sweet taste and the sour taste in it are mixed very well without too extreme or the tastes overlapping each other. As you can see on both dishes has side dishes which are Salad, Spaghetti and French Fries. French Fries is the best, Salad not too bad, Spaghetti a bit too cold and the spaghetti sauce are too little which makes us feel like eating a plain spaghetti.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - You have to try anything with their sweet & sour sauce. Hopefully they able to maintain the same quality of sauce at all times.

Chocolate and Vanilla ice cream with Oreo

Lastly you will have your 2 scoops of ice cream dessert to share with 2 person. Normal ice cream as you can see. Nothing much I can comment.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 2/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: N/A
Overall: Unless it is free or included in a set, otherwise really there is no reason for me to support you to order this.

Look at what my sister wants to show you. Yup, they have set lunch for only RM8.90++ with lots of choices. So for working people, this is one of the place you can settle your lunch.

In my opinion about this voucher from Groupon, this is consider the best food with the best deal. However, the deal can be improved by including drinks and the dessert does not have to be shared.

Total damage: RM20

Ambiance: 3/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Slow
Will I revisit?: If I have no place to yum cha with my sister, I think for most of the time I will yum cha with her at Caffeinees instead. Hope she won't get bored. Hahaha...
